Round 1
Starting weight Jan 2014: 225 lb
8/26
8/27: 204.6. My start date. Off to a good start. 1 hour of exercise, 5 servings of fruits/veggies, 60 oz of water, and under my calorie goal.
8/28: 203.8. I got lots of walking in today and my legs are still sore from yesterday. I didn't drink as much water today and had popcorn and chicken fried steak so I'll probably see an increase in weight when I weigh again tomorrow morning. I was under my calories for today though. I completed my food log at the beginning of the day and substituted foods if I was craving something else.

Round 50- -1.8lb
Round 51- SW 351.6lb
8/26 - 351.6lb
Under my calorie goal for the day. I really need to work on eating while I'm at work! Sometimes it's so easy just to forget to eat. So I finish work and I'm really hungry! Took the stairs when I came home today. I really can't do much activity because my body always aches, but I hope that I'll be able to soon!
8/27 - 349.8 (-1.8)
really, really happy that a loss finally showed on the scales! It likes to fluctuate, and I know the weight is not the be-all and end-all of this....but I am so relieved that I could *see* a result.
Another good day food-wise. My body is totally aching still, so not much physical activity. Hopefully when the weather finally cools down, I can go for walks and things!
8/28 - 348.2lb (-1.6lb/ -3.4lb total)
another good result on the scales and very surprised!
went to an all you can eat sushi place and tracked everything and didn't overeat! My wife had a birthday party and i stayed clear of the cakes and treats, having a nice supper now and feeling very positive- 2 weeks fully on plan and not fallen once!

SW: 73.4 kg
GW: 68 kg
Round 1
8/26 - 73.4kg
8/27 - 73.0kg -- Yesterday I actually was more committed thinking about this group. every time I wanted to "cheat" I remembered that I'll be logging my weight in the morning and that these 10 days might not show a minus if I do so. It worked, I stayed out of the fridge.
8/28 - 72.6kg -- I swear that this is the first time in forever I see the scale going down.woo! It must be this challenge! I'm really mindful of what I'm doing/eating knowing that I'll be reporting on it. Tonight I have the gym, curious to see how that affects things. Ideally, I'd love to lose 1kg (2lbs) every challenge. Not sure if that's possible, but I'll try! This is an awesome group. Keep rocking, ladies, and gents. We can do this.
8/29 - 71.8 kg - Wooo! probably just losing water or something but I'll take it. I was on my cal goal and went to the gym, so pretty good day. It's summer here so navigating weekends here is the most difficult part. Beer, icecreams and a bunch of other no-nos everywhere. But hey, it's "just 10 days", right? It really helps me to chunk this down and think in those terms. I'm trying to learn not to use the food as an award, so here's mine: At the end of the challenge purchase new fitness clothes as a reward.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/26: 69.5 - Kept around goal
8/27: 68.6 - kept around goal
8/28: 68.8 - BBQ yesterday, I've probably under logged, but generally quite good. Lots of running around after the puppy. Slept VERY well. Also, because I've been catching up. Look! LOOK! Under 69kg! I have literally not seen 68.x since before stopped living at home! I AM VERY HAPPY TO SEE THIS! Been finding it easier to stick to the goal at the moment, so all going well right now.
8/29: 68.6 - Well this is officially 1 stone down. A target I wasn't aiming for until I overheard some work colleagues discussing weight loss (both of them started about the same time I had, and have lost similar amounts, I'm nosy, I know, but I was interested and they were discussing this across the office so whatever) And one said to the other "it doesn't really feel like you've made progress until you've lost a stone". Now I don't agree with her, however I get her point. There is something very satisfactory about being able to say "I have lost a stone". Although I'm working in kg, most people in the uk still use stone and pounds for their own weights. When asked how much I've lost, saying "oh about 6 and a half kilos" doesn't sound as impressive as "about a stone" (mostly because many people don't know how much 6.5kg is, whereas everyone knows that 1stone is actually quite a bit) Anyway, that aside, okay food day yesterday. Bread and butter tea so was quite tricky to log. Again, I made sure I over logged on some foods (cheese mostly) to make up for the almost certain underlogging elsewhere. Still, pretty good overall.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/26 - 257.2...forgot to weigh this morning when I first got up.
8/27 - 257.2...bad food choices, no exercise and another late weigh in.
8/28 - 257.2...I really need to get my head back into this and re-find my motivation. Went for a walk yesterday but had take out for lunch and supper so I was still way over on calories. And I haven't been drinking nearly enough water..I keep choosing diet pop instead
8/29 - 257.2...did a little better yesterday. Still went over calories but not by nearly as much..stayed well under maintenance. No water yesterday at all, so I'm starting today with a huge glass, staying away from the diet soda and hoping I can finally get back on track and stay there.

8/26 – 175.3 lbs Today I am wearing a tank top in my own house for the first time in many years. I wasn’t even comfortable with wearing a tank top when I was home alone! I’m so motivated again after the huge loss last round.
8/27 - 174.8 (-0.5) I am just feeling so motivated right now. Went out and bought new a new exercise outfit today (as my old ones were sizes XL-XXL and now I’m a M-L). Was so happy trying on clothes, that I could have bought everything they had if my economy wasn’t crying for help hahah. It’s an indescribable feeling to actually feel good when trying on clothes. Finally starting physical therapy tomorrow and I’m so excited I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight. Really hope it can help with my super low blood pressure and my fainting. (I have Addison’s disease! )
8/28 - 173.9 (-0.9) I have no idea what’s going on here, but I’ll take it! I was stuck on 180+- for 2 months and now I’m just flying through 170? That’s fine by me! 😅 Did nothing else than reduce my carb intake and eat more fat/protein. Exact same calorie intake. Going to the gym to meet my physical therapist in an hour. Update on how it went tomorrow 😄 Super excited! Hope everyone has a nice day.
8/29 – 173.2 (-0.7) Physical therapy yesterday was awesome. Focused on balance and core. We decided that it’s smart to focus most on butt, hips and legs to start with. She was so awesome and understanding and didn’t want to pressure me until i faint. Gonna see her again on Friday :-D Aiming for exercise 5 times a week in the long run, but I have to build up a bit first. I think I can safely say that I have managed to reach my challenge goal weight this round, super happy!

Start Weight 277
Goal Weight 274
Final Goal 190
8/26 - 276.5 lbs (-.05) lbs Good start again. Had some fajita chicken smothered in garlic butter sauce last night and thought I would hold or gain water. Nice to see neither happened.
8/27 - 276.5 lbs (No Change) Not unexpected after so many days of good losses. Staying under calorie and carb limits. Last round I was well under those limits. Easing up a bit this round but still expecting to reach my goal for round 51.
8/28 - 274.5lbs (-2.0) lbs Well that was a pleasant surprise. I was not expecting that much of a loss but I'll take it. Staying on a routine has been good for my weight loss program. I am leaving tomorrow for a week visit to family in Houston and thats going to make it hard to stay on my routine. I will do the best I can and since after tomorrow I can't weigh in each day till I get back on the fourth I will update how the routine is or is not going. Hang tough everyone. It's getting done!
8/29 – 274.0 (-0.5) lbs Round 51 Goal Reached!! Perfect timing as we are off to Houston later this morning for a visit with family. We will be gone until next Monday so no weigh in until then but will be posting daily updates on how the routine is (or is not) going. I have been doing a lot of Subway salad meals for dinner and that seems to be just filling enough while keeping the carb intake in check. Good to know I can find a Subway most anywhere today. Helpful to stay in focus and on track.

8/28 - 148.6 - well I'm finally heading back in the right direction, hopefully it keeps dropping each day this round.

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.
My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.
My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

A late start as ended up away again!
8/28 - 144.70lb - bank holiday didn't go as planned - late nights, too much socialising, a BBQ and then ended up staying round a friends with way too much good food and then a take away But had a great weekend, back to normal(ish) today (kids last week off school) and feel like I've had enough food to last me a lifetime at the minute! Back in control so a good food day today, gym tonight and pretty sure alot of this weight is a "whoosh" that will be long gone by the end of the round......
8/29 - 142.1 (-2.6lb) and the whoosh had started. Nothing fancy just plenty of water and back to sensible healthy eating. Feeling better already 👍
